Chicken Pot Pie

No matter what season it is, a day like today can always be around the corner. This actually suits me just fine, because a cloudy, rainy evening is perfect for a dinner like this – Chicken pot pie. The name and concept behind this meal has comfort food written all over it, and besides being nourishing and delicious, this recipe holds the added bonus of working well as a make-ahead dinner – after all, this is the homemade version of what may be the most famous of frozen foods.

Making and enjoying this Chicken pot pie fresh is of course preferred, however, unless you have friends over or a family to feed, this recipe will leave you with some leftovers. I assure you, this is most certainly not a bad thing. We wrapped our extra pot pies in tinfoil, then in plastic wrap, and we now have our next cloudy, rainy evening dinner made and waiting for us in our freezer.

We’ll be making this again for sure, and keeping this recipe in mind for when we have leftover turkey from the holidays to make turkey pot pies or for using leftover roasted chicken as well. We adapted this recipe from an article in Fine Cooking magazine by Abigail Johnson Dodge and we hope you enjoy it…

Working in two batches, brown the chicken on both sides and remove from the pot to a cutting board. Remove the meat from the bones and place the chicken in a medium sized bowl. The chicken will not be fully cooked at this point, however it will be added back to the pot and finished later / Primeramente dorar el pollo en el aceite y luego colocar los muslos en una tabla para cortar, remover toda la carne de los huesos y colocar la carne en un recipiente. El pollo no estará completamente cocido.

Once all the chicken is cooked and added to the bowl, add another tbsp of oil to the pot and add the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms without stirring for one minute, then begin to stir until they are well browned (another 3-4 minutes). Add the mushrooms to the bowl with the chicken / Después de que hayas terminado de dorar los muslos de pollo, en la misma olla colocar una cucharada de aceite de oliva. Agregar los hongos y cocinarlos por 3 o 4 minutos. Transferir los hongos al recipiente con el pollo.

Add another tbsp of oil and add the onions and carrots to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally until the vegetables begin to caramelize (8-9 minutes). At this point, add the garlic cook until the garlic is fragrant then remove the vegetables from the pot and add them to the bowl with the mushrooms and chicken in the separate bowl / Poner otra cucharada de aceite de oliva en la olla y agregar las cebollas y zanahorais y dejar cocinarlas por 8-9 minutos. Agregar el ajo y cocinarlo por 30 segundos, transferir los vegetales al recipiente con el pollo y los hongos.
